Not sure I can help you with the COB, but when I look at mine of those files, I see a few technically non-balanced back-quotes in /etc/default/grub and /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig, although none of them explaing "32", and all within double-quotes or comments. You'll need to verify that /bin/sh is dash, and then sit and wait for inspiration. Of course it might help with a manual initramfs update: # update-initramfs -u -k all or at least, that might give a new lead to the problem.

If that is the case, then it has been placed there by a recent package as I've never touched it and the two other Devuan Ascii boxen have no problem. And line #32 of that file is actually a comment. I thought it might have referred to Line #32 of /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig which s a reference to the contents of "$rootdatadir" but that is defined a few lines above as /usr/share. Plus it is identical(eyeball compare) on the affected and non-effected machine. Both the two non-effected machines have just today removed the linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 from their boot options without trouble. And as webfu hasn't turned up any pointer, I'm a little stumped ATM. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

[DNG] Upgrade lockedup-How To fix
In the midst of removing a package that frequently crashes* and attempting a general package update/upgrade, somehow the package upgrade system has borked something. Specifically it seems to have come about following a sudo apt autoremove where a depreciated image was listed to go. Now I am at a state where I can do nothing package wise ..Error Message Removing linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (4.9.88-1+deb9u1) ... /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools: update-initramfs: Deleting /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-6-amd64 /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 32: /etc/default/grub: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution run-parts: /etc/kernel/postrm.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 2 dpkg: error processing package linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 (--remove): .. Either it is a script error in /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig or some data file has become corrupted. Can someone tell me of a fix? Or other tasks to fix this? *I suspect the crashes are related to a hardware problem in either Incompatible RAMM sticks or yet another "Memeory problem" pertainng to AMD B350 Hardware. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
